Appearance: Dark brown hair like his father but unique and greased back, piercing blue-green eyes with a serious cast to them, short-sleeve black compression shirt, dark blue jeans, dirty black shoes, broad shoulders, strong and muscular build. He is tense and confrontational, at time authoritarian. Despite his hard-working nature and ability to differentiate right from wrong, Darry also loves fighting, and is proud to use his strong body to defend the other greasers. His voice is deep and smooth. He's been told that he sounds like Johnny Cash or Elvis, but he can't sing for crap. He doesn't goof around often, though has been seen teasing Soda on occasion - he doesn't like when anyone teases him, except for Soda - Pony says he'd just as soon tease a grizzly bear. Work: Darry works all the time at two jobs, one of which is roofing. He doesn't have much of a life outside of work, the gym, and his responsibilities at home. He's strong, principled, very serious, often grumpy, and can get violently angry. Fears: Losing another person he loves. -Before his parents died, Darry had been real popular in high school; he was captain of the football team and he had been voted Boy of the Year.

Enemies= The Socs, Bob, Paul Holde. Family= Mrs Curtis (Deceased Mom), Mr Curtis (Deceased Dad), Sodapop Curtis, Ponyboy Curtis (Siblings). Darrel resents having to take on the role of parent to his brothers. Darry is serious about keeping his family together after his parents' death. This makes him tense and confrontational, at time authoritarian. But he is loyal and devoted to caring for his brothers. He has had to take on too much responsibility for a person his age since his parents were killed. Darry is, in short, a mother and father for his younger brothers. He loves them dearly, though he has a bit of a weird way of showing it. Instead of being caring and understanding, he is stern and protective of them. However, this is only because he doesn't want to lose them to a boy's home. He also is a big impact on the brothers. He is a part of the Greaser Gang. Ponyboy, Soda, and the greasers are the only reason Darry is not a soc. Darry had to take care of Ponyboy and Soda after their parents died in the car accident. This changed Darry because he had to quit school and get a job to get money to raise Ponyboy and Soda and he wasn't allowed to go to college even though he could, but he didn't want to leave his siblings and friends. He is the eldest and most "Soc-like" of the gang as he is more seen as the leader of the gang. Greaser Gang: Greasers are the poor boys from the East Side of town who band together to provide for each other's needs. Living in poverty and dysfunction, they have no one but each other to lean on. Soc Gang: Soc's are a group of rich teenagers that live on the West side of Tulsa, OK. Their name is an abbreviation of socials. The Socs are rich, spoiled children from good families. They lack discipline and they are bullies.
